Apple has a memory problem and we’re all paying for it::Apple still sells expensive “Pro” computers with just 8GB of RAM and charges a fortune for more.
It’s about user experience for me. I’m a software dev, I work with linux or unix systems. When i’m home I don’t want spend my time configuring a windows machine with terrible UX. OSX is very well built, built-in basic security, etc. It’s just much less hassle Edit: also, it being a unix derivative, if I need to configure it, i can just use my knowledge from work and not have to look for the usually nonsensical number of checkboxes and menus I have to look for on windiws
For me, windows is actually a much better user experience for working with MS office for traditional office tasks. I have Macs at home for working with music, pictures, and video. And Linux for my home lab stuff. They all have their niche.
Do Linux settings translate to osx… At all? I’m struggling to think of any I use across both. Maybe bash.rc?
Osx config is mostly running arcane commands to set registry settings.
I’ll never understand people who struggle with windows and like osx. They seem basically identical to me at this point.
It’s called Mac OS and is actually a version of UNIX heavily modified by Apple. Linux is basically a copy of UNIX. Mac OS does not have a registry. Mac OS and Windows couldn’t be more different. OSX (the X stands for 10) was the versions of Mac OS that had 10 as the major version number that ended with Catalina.
